Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-20883)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the application. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Specifically, an application is vulnerable if all of the conditions are true:

  • The application has Spring MVC auto-configuration enabled. This is the case by default if Spring MVC is on the classpath.
  • The application makes use of Spring Boot's welcome page support, either static or templated.
  • Your application is deployed behind a proxy which caches 404 responses.


2) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4853)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to implemented HTTP security policies do not correctly sanitize certain character permutations, which may result in incorrect evaluation of permissions. A remote attacker can bypass the security policy altogether and gain unauthorized access to endpoints or perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) Incorrect Regular Expression (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-37599)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input passed via the resourcePath variable to  interpolateName() function in interpolateName.js. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.

4) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-20860)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to an input validation error caused by using the wildcard ("**") as a pattern in Spring Security configuration with the mvcRequestMatcher, which creates a mismatch in pattern matching between Spring Security and Spring MVC. A remote attacker can bypass certain security restrictions.
